BAILEY & NOYES. 



The stranger, in looking over the beautiful anrl 
commodious commercial houses that adorn the 
Forest City, cannot fail to notice the spacious struc- 
ture of this firm that occupies one of the most con- 
spicuous sites on Exchange Street. In its description 
■we cannot hope to do justice, but merely to convey 
a feeble idea of the comfort, beauty and utility with 
which this concern have carried out their plan of a 
building erected expressly for their business. Four 
stories in height, including the French roof, built of 
bricks with iron caps and Albert stone sills and 
trimmings, it is one of the most convenient ware- 
houses in the city. In making our entrance, we 
first come to the salesroom, which is the finest book- 
store in Maine. The room is a marvel of delicate 
joinery work, elegantly finished with carved wood 
in walnut, butternut and chestnut woods; lofty, 
spacious and well lighted, it presents a charming 
spectacle of mingled lightness, strength, chaste 
elegance and profuse richness. All the miracles of 
art appear to be placed upon their shelves for the 
benefit of the human race. Authors of every clime 
are jostled together in truly cosmopolitan compan- 
ionship. The gorgeous binding, the delicate tracery 
on books of every subject are here laid under 
requisition for our benefit. On this floor may be 
also seen a complete list of Stationers' specialties 
and blank account books of every description known 
to the trade; writing papers of every shade, from 
the most delicately tinted and perfumed note to the 
coarsest of cold-pressed for the coun ting-roc m. 
The next floor, which, as a room, is large, airy, com- 
fortable, and in keeping with the rest of the estab- 
lishment — the pink of cleanliness— is used for the 
sale of the world-renowned Chickering Pianos and 
Mason & Hamlin Cabinet Organs, household arti- 
cles of beautiful workmanship, that every purchaser 
of which may be sure that he obtains, according to 
its size, capacity, style and price, the best instru- 
ment which it is possible in the present state of the 
art to construct, and of which this firm are the sole 
agents. Up another flight and we find ourselves in 
a similar sized room, devoted to a grand display of 
pacer hangings of every hue and tint, of every price 
and quality that may be found to suit every mind 
and taste. Up once more and we emerge into one 
of the finest lw>k binderies in New England, sup- 
plied vi it h all the modern appliances and machinery 
necessary to the execution of first-class work in 
superior style, presided over by Mr. George 
L. Bailey, a gentleman who understands his business 
and is a thorough workman. 

In closing, we would say for the benefit of our 
readers, the one great motto of this successful busi- 
ness house is system, by which, without seeming to 
force its authority or even to suggest methods, the 
work is done by an efficient corps of gentlemanly 
assistants, courteous and accommodating alike to 
rich and poor; each one knowing his own particular 
part, sticking to it, and showing speed and skill 
won by long experience. Such is our feeble sketch 
of this prosperous house, which, to-day, is the 
pioneer and one of the brightest stars of commer- 
cial enterprise in this line that may be found in 
our city. 



Our First Exhibition. 

The Industrial Exhibition, which has 
commenced in Portland, forms a new and 
important era in our city's advancement. — 
Projected, as it was, under the auspices of 
the Portland Board of Manufacturers, 
and direct management of such men as 
Chas. P. Kimball, W. W. Thomas, Jr., and 
C. E. Jose, — as staunch a trio for business 
capacity and influential popularity as our 
city can boast of — it will not be their fault if 
this Exposition of our city's manufactures 
is not a complete success in every sense of 
the word. To much credit cannot be given 
to the energetic projectors of this much to 
be desired opening for the advancement of 
our industrial Classes. Portland has long 
needed just such a showing, and it must of 
necessity give a new impetus to our manu- 
factures, and, with friendly emulation, be 
prolific of abundant good. And Portland 
has made and is able to make a good record. 
Her sons have not been idle, hut mind and 
muscle have triumphed over the inanimate 
forces of nature. The invention of labor 
saving machines is revolutionizing the earth, 
and in every department Progress is assert- 
ing her sway. He is the true public bene- 
factor who devises anything to alleviate the 
wants or improve the condition of his race ; 
and this Exhibition, bringing together, as 
it does, our varied Industries, and giving 
due encouragement to their projectors, can 
but be a stepping-stone to our city's future 
advancement. With no vain-glorious dis- 
play the work has been carried on — here are 
exhibited the works of our mechanics, each 
in its proper place — and the whole speaks 
well for our interests. Let Portland con- 
tinue the good work so nobly begun — let 
her industries multiply and her products go 
forth to the utmost parts of the earth, for 
she has within herself all the elements of 
greatness and success, and it needs no ma- 
gician's wand to inspire her with life. Al- 
ready she has achieved an honorable position 
and her course is onward. New manufac- 
tories shall spring up in her midst, and 
Industrial Exhibitions to come shall make 
apparent that she has nobly done her part. 
And what city can claim greater advantages ? 
Nature, with a liberal hand, has scattered 
blessings all around, and her sons have 
resolved that they will be worthy of such an 
inheritance. Let the good work go on ! Let 
this bringing together of the varied works 
of our artizan population but stimulate to 
greater exertions, and, as a city, we shall be 
blessed, and our influence shall extend near 
and far.

How City Hall Looks- 

The pride of Portland is its City Build- 
ings, and ever since her citizens first saw 
the wisdom of laying out liberally in this, 
that pride and interest have been growing. 
But, often as has City Hall flung open its 
doors it never showed as it shows to-day. 
Not when the people brought their gifts in 
the war time, and laid them upon the altar 
of a common sacrifice ; nor yet last year 
when the beauty, and wealth, and culture 
of the State assembled and vied in giving 
and doing for a magnificent local charity, 
did these splendid rooms bear such tokens 
of a community's real and steady purpose 
as they do to-day. 

Here Portland has brought her latest and 
best gifts. Here are the signs by which 
she will conquer. Here are her jewels, and 
here the every-day evidences of that thrift 
which has saved her from disaster by fire, 
and flood, and financial storm, and made 
her the equal of any Atlantic city, in pros- 
perity and promise. "He who can use tools 
may double the years of his life," comes 
down to us as the saying of a people who 
learned first and best how to grow and con- 
quer by skill and diligence in work. 

And so Portland bids you welcome at her 
first showing of industrial thrift. Like sur- 
prises in friendship's gifts spread out for 
the first time together, she brings her offer- 
ings from the workshop that she may learn 
and prepare for better things in the future 
and have fuller sense of duty and opportu- 
nity. And we venture that not one person 
will look over this collection, from the pic- 
tures in Rossini Hall to the pottery-mould- 
ing and the carpet-weaving, without a most 
gratifying sense of discovery and surprise. 
Not that this is a very remarkable exposi- 
tion, but it exceeds all others ever held in 
our midst because of its novelty and its 
possible consequence as to the future of 
business and wealth ; for through City Hall 
as it looks in the year of grace '74 we can 
almost see the assurance that this is the 
beginning of yearly exhibitions in all the 
time to come. It has been demonstrated 
. that this is a pre-eminently desirable manu- 
facturing centre, and every capability of the 
town, beyond the mere necessities of manu- 
facture, is suggestive of future aid and 
favor. We count this, therefore, not mere- 
ly a spectacle which fills us this once with 
glad surprise, but rather the beginning of a 
series of Industrial Fairs which shall enlist 
the support of the people of the whole State, 
and bring to them the rich experiences of 
all our communities that have started out 
upon this new line of effort. 

And in this connection is it not proper to 
express the wish that Maine's part in the 
Centennial may now be somewhat better 
understood, and a new interest given to the 
general cause ? No land ever bore such 
century fruits as may — at least ought to — 
be shown there ; and do we not all feel in 
our hearts and judgments that no State in

There is great danger of being deceived 
by a Bitter which has been extensively 
forced upon the market, put up in a style 
closely imitating that exceedingly valuable 
and highly popular medicine, ' JL. F.' At- 
wood's Bitters, the label and outside wrap- 
per being very nearly the same. The bottle 
also is fashioned and lettered so nearly like 
* L. F.' Atwood's that it is well calculated 
to deceive. Therefore remember the in- 
itials, 'L. F.,' as none can possibly be 
true and genuine without the signature of 
■t. F.' Atwood on the yellow label, of 
each bottle, he never having sold his right 
to the manager of any imitation of "L. F." 
Atwood's Bitters. 

As a further safeguard, all bottles will 
have the Trade Mark, ' L. F.' in large let- 
ters, in red ink, on the yellow label, also in 
red ink on the white outside wrapper. 

CAUTION. Persons dealing in Bitters 

dressed in the same garb as 'L. F.' Atwood's, 
are in danger of being brought to immedi- 
ate trial before the U. S. Court, as the label 
on said L. F. Atwood's Bitters has been 
copyrighted and patented. 



the whole Union can show more of material 
wealth and grander conquests in skill than 
can Maine ? And we submit, generally, in 
view of what these things mean, that the 
prime duty and privilege of Portlanders 
should be the crystalizing of a plan which 
shall establish a grand Industrial Expos- 
ition building, equal in style and size to the 
needs of yearly exhibitions, and make it an 
adjunct of our agricultural shows. This, 
with befitting grounds near by, would de- 
termine the place and the centre of all such 
expositions for years to come ; and if some- 
thing of this kind does not come of these 
two weeks' campaign and conference, then 
we mistake "How City Hall Looks!" 

The address of the President, herewith 
presented, will be read with interest peculiar 
to this occasion, and also to the new spirit 
which has come upon our people. Mr. 
KisiBAi.L has long been an advocate of in- 
dustrial producing, as the great help and 
hope of the people of Portland and of 
Maine, and has lost no opportunity to im- 
press views which at last appear to be very 
widely held in this community. It cannot 
be denied that the people have been long 
oblivious of the prime necessities of the city. 
Not all the commerce of the seas can super- 
sede tl\e need of encouraging that grandest 
of all labor results — skilled productions, 
productions alike of strong heads and cun- 
ning hands. These, and these alone, fash- 
ion and feed, and minister to, the working 
people, who are at once the bulk and the 
bulwark of the State. No man can look 
over the vast results that have come of 
Maine's last few years of effort, without a 
wholesome understanding of the force of 
such an address as this ; and no man who 
looks about this Hall, and sees Portland's 
showing of new types of wealth, will fail 
to rejoice in that class of true workers who 
are speaking their thoughts through their 
representatives everywhere, of whom there 
are few abler or more untiring than 
Charles P. Kimball.

To the admirable organizing capabilities 
of M. A. Blanchabd, Esq., Secretary of 
the Exposition, is due the symmetry of dis- 
play, and the exact order and justice shown 
in providing for each individual exhibitor. 
In no one of the many trusts assigned this 
gentleman, have system, and cool judgement, 
and patient work been more happily and 
successfully employed. 

Perhaps no citizen of Portland could 
have been selected to preside over the daily 
business of the Fair, who could have brought 
to the place so many qualifications to dis- 
charge its duties well, as Mr. Ciiables H. 
Haskell, under whose fine administrative 
qualities this important business has come. 
Indeed, less unerring than the mechanism 
here exhibited, has been the method of se- 
lecting the whole force of managers and 
workers.

JAMES QTJINN. GEO. H. COYLE, 



ADDRESS 

—OF— 

HON. C. P. KIMBALL, 

AT THE INAUGURATION OF THE 

Portland Industrial Exhibition. 



The City of Portland is widely known as 
a smart enterprising commercial city, con- 
taining among its citizens, many of the 
most enterprising, far seeing, public spirited 
merchants and business men to be found in 
the United States, ready at all times to take 
heavy responsibilities and strike out boldly 
for progress, — to push forward to successful 
completion, the grand enterprises necessary 
to make a prosperous and flourishing city. 

The citizens of Portland have great con- 
fidence in the future of their city ; hence no 
obstacle has been too great for them to over- 
come. No calamity has thus far dismayed 
them. A little less than eight years since 
the fearful words flashed over the civilized 
world: "the beautiful City of Portland is 
being destroyed by fire." It was literally 
true ; a large portion of our city was on the 
morning of the 5th of July, I860, a desolate 
waste. The sight was indeed appaling; the 
stoutest heart was for a time struck with 
terror, but the sympathy and generosity ex- 
tended to us from our brother-men every- 
where invigorated us. The noble spirit 
that animates a high, spiritual, devoted 
christian people was not crushed, only 
awakened to new life, and the heroism of 
Portland was brought out in all its majesty, 
and our city was rebuilt far more beautiful 
than ever before, in an incredible short 
space of time. The blow was indeed a 
severe one, but we were equal to the emer- 
gency. The great labor of rebuilding 
brought among us a large number of valu- 
able citizens that were very anxious to make 
this their permanent home. This sentiment 
naturally increased the very general desire 
to make Portland a manufacturing as well 
as a commercial city, — all knowing we 
had every facility to build up a large man- 
ufacturing interest here, and by so doing 
employ our own unemployed population 
and bring thousands more among us. The 
Board of Trade, ever watchful of the inter- 
ests of the city, took the matter under con- 
sideration, and, as a result of their delibera- 
tion, created a new board called the Port- 
land Board of Manufacturers, before whom 
all general matters pertaining to our man- 
ufacturing interests should come. The 
gentlemen selected for that board all accep- 
ted the position assigned them, and went 
vigorously to work. They asked the City 
Council to pass resolutions promising to 
exempt all new manufacturing capital 
investments here from taxation for the term 
of ten years, and to place at the disposal of 
the Board a small amount of money, to be 
used by them as they thought the best in- 
terests of the city required. Both of these 
requests were promptly and generously 
granted. A very large number of meetings 
have been held by the board, and a great 
deal of time has been spent by the mem- 
bers, and some very satisfactory results ob- 
tained that are quite advantageous to our 
city, that for sufficient reasons we do not 
think wise to enumerate. We have deemed 
it our special duty to place the superior ad- 
vantages of Portland, as a manufacturing 
city, before all that were ready to listen to 
us, and to assist all new comers to procure 
suitable places for their business, etc., and 
we believe we have done our whole duty in 
this respect. But for the good of the city 
and the people of Portland, we determined 
to do something more plainly to be seen 
ihan this silent work, that has kept us so

busy the past few years, and with that view 
we inaugurated this Portland Industrial Ex- 
hibition, feeling confident it would bring 
out the fact, so well known to us, that the ex- 
tent and variety, as well as the excellence 
of the goods manufactured here, were not 
only not known to the people of Maine, 
but were really not half known to our own 
citizens. The Exhibition was conceived in 
the interests of all, but more especially the 
producing classes. 

The public mind has manifested its sym- 
pathy with the move in various ways. The 
press of the city especially, have given it 
their great influence and hearty support, 
and done for us a grand work in awakening 
the deep interest now so plainly to be seen, 
while our merchants, businessmen and City 
Government have responded promptly and 
generously to every call made upon them. 

The board that inaugurates this exhibition, 
and under whose management it is to be 
carried on, have given to it their best ener- 
gies and constant labor. We have in the 
past, and do now have, great hopes of its 
entire success in every respect, and thanking 
all who have thus far favored the movement 
we most earnestly call upon the people to 
assist us in making it such a success that it 
will be repeated each year. 

We do not claim that holding a fair or 
Industrial Exhibition is an original idea 
with us, for in fact the origin of fairs and 
exhibitions is too remote for the ablest his- 
torian to fix the exact date ; they have no 
doubt been held for various purposes under 
different names in all times and in all coun- 
tries. The objects and results have varied 
with the times. 

The object of this Exhibition is well 
known to be for the good of Portland, of 
Maine ; it is certainly in your power to make 
it so. 

According to Prescott's history of the 
Conquest of Mexico fairs were held there 
before shops or stores were known ; they 
were thronged by a numerous concourse of 
people, and the traffic in all its various pro- 
ductions of the country, was immense. The 
same was true of Peru and other countries. 
These places were the popular resort of the 
people — the great exchange of the country. 
They were holden in some places every 
fifth day, and a great amount of traffic 
done under the superintendence of magis- 
trates, appointed for that purpose. They 
had no circulating medium, and this was 
the most feasible way to carry on their crude 
commerce in exchanging the products of 
various kinds. 

Fairs and exhibitions of various kinds 
were established in Flanders in . the 10th 
century; in England early in the 12th. 
They were popular inmost parts of the Old 
World for hundreds of years, but finally 
came into disrepute, as their objects were 
perverted, and instead of being the grand 
centres of industry and commerce, they were 
mere riotous gatherings of the lowest classes, 
and giants, dwarfs, monkeys, live serpents, 
rope dancers, etc., were their chief attrac- 
tions. During the present century this has 
mostly passed away in all countries, and 
fairs and exhibitions are now instituted and 
patronized as places where the artisan can 
display specimens of his handiwork, the in- 
ventor exhibit his models and drawings. 
Places, in fact, where the produce of every 
class, kind, and style of goods, including 
products of the soil and mine, can expose 
them to the public view and inspection. 
This makes the exhibitions of the present 
day vastly superior to those of olden times, 
and all must have noticed, who have care- 
fully watched the constantly growing inter- 
est manifested by the people of almost 
every civilized nation in agricultural and 
horticultural fairs, in mechanics and indus-

trial exhibitions, that the people regard 
them as important events, calculated not 
only to improve the manufacturer, the arti- 
san and the agriculturalist, but to open vast 
fields for improvements in all branches of 
industry, besides giving the people gener- 
ally, a grander and higher appreciation of 
the importance of mechanical skill and labor 
to the welfare of mankind. 

The genius of the past ages was of an en- 
tirely different type from that of the present. 
Painting and sculpturing perhaps reached 
their climax, the very zenith of their great 
glory, centuries ago. From these and other 
facts the learned and eloquent Phillips talks 
to us of the lost arts, and we are almost led 
to believe by his charming eloquence 
we are on the downward scale of civi- 
lization ; but we must not, in our admira- 
tion for the great masters, forget that as 
late as the 15th century, while Michael An- 
gelo was painting the holy family or chisel- 
ing his colossal statue of David, that the 
tillers of the soil were ploughing their 
ground with the crotch of a tree, carrying 
their produce to market on the backs of their 
beasts of burden; that they had but 
few travelled roads, and no steamboats, 
railroads, gas lights, telegraph, or photo- 
graphers, and could not pull a tooth with- 
out making a patient scream; that new 
inventions and new devices were often 
treated as works of the Devil, and the in- 
ventors imprisoned. 

That the present is far superior to the past, 
it seems to me no careful reader of history 
can doubt. Can there be any truer or greater 
test of civilization than useful productions, 
productions that is the most beneficial to 
mankind, that lessens the toil and increases 
the pay. In this respect the present is 
greatly superior to all past ages. Raphael 
thanked God he lived in the days of Michael 
Angelo. Can any of us contrast the pres- 
ent with the past, and as we look with sub- 
dued reverence upon the genius, the skill 
and wonderful science of the present age, 
not thank God from the depths of our 
heart, that we live in this enlightened 19th 
century — the century that has given the 
world more great inventions and startling 
improvements, and freedom than any 
thousand years that preceded it, and can 
any one doubt that the Declaration of Inde- 
pendence and the great American Republic 
that followed, gave to the human mind and 
heart new hope and new life, and hope of 
final freedom of mankind from slavery and 
serfdom, therefore helping to revolutionize 
the realm of thought, causing inventions, 
genius, science and skill to boldly step forth 
to perform the great work of the 19th cen- 
tury. In this age inventive genius finds no 
impediment in its way, but receives the fos- 
tering care of a paternal government. In 
no way does our peculiar American quali- 
ties more fully exhibit themselves, than in 
our inventions, which turns almost exclu- 
sively to the application of mechanical pow- 
ers to the common uses of mankind, to fur- 
nish the necessities rather than the luxuries 
of life. Hence the superiority of our mow- 
ers, reapers, plows, cultivators, and shovels, 
that are sold in all parts of the world, as 
well as our sewing machines that lessen the 
toil and increase the earnings of the poorest 
paid of all free human laborers. This pecu- 
liarity manifests itself very plainly when- 
ever our productions are brought into con- 
trast with the productions of other nations. 
Mr. Beckwith, the Commissioner of the 
United States to the Paris Exposition, in 
his report, says : 

"The high position conceded by the verdict of 
the times to American industrial products is not 
due in general to the graceful designs, fertile com- 
binations of pleasing colors, elegant forms, elabor- 
ate finish, or any of the artistic qualities which 
cultivate the taste and refine the feelings by awak-

Certificate of Analysis. 

This certifies that I have made a qualitative ex- 
amination of a cleansing compound submitted to 
me by J. W. Munger & Son, of Portland, Maine, 
and have found contained therein as a result of the 
examination no ingredient that will injure the 
texture of cloth or destroy the color, providing it is 
a fast color, and not removed by water alone. It is 
also harmless to the skin. I have subjected it to 
the severest tests in removing grease, paint, tar, 
pitch, &c, and find it satisfactorily performs all 
that is claimed for it.

J. W. Munger, Esq. 

Dear Mr: — 1 have seen your Detergent Com- 
pound subjected to the severest tests in removing 
paint, tar, oil, etc., from silk and woolen fabrics 
and have myself completely removed paint from 
clothing which had resisted all other applications. 
Its effect is almost instantaneous. It is altogether 
the best detergent I have ever seen, and I can con- 
fidently recommend it to the public. 
Yours, &c, 

JOHN M. ADAMS.

Dear Sir: — Accept our acknowledgments for 
your courtesy, and for your package of "Deter- 
gent." We have tried it, and have seen tar and 
white paint, after having been thoroughly dried on 
broadcloth, removed by a single application ; and 
the lightest silks, as well as the heaviest broadcloths 
being saturated with linseed oil, have been restor- 
ed, colors and surface unchanged under like treat- 
ment. Again where ink had stained a light Brus- 
sels carpet, all traces were removed almost instant- 
ly on the first trial of your compound. 
Yours, &c, 

JOHN NEAL,

J. W. Munger, Esq., Portland. 

Dear Sir: — Each member of our firm has made 
use of your Detergent Compound and found it 
remarkably effective in accomplishing what you 
claim for it. The neat form in which it is put up ; 
the ease and promptness with which it removes oils, 
grease and paints from the variety of labrics, to 
which we have applied it, without the slightest ap- 
parent injury to the cloth, place it far in advance of 
any similar preparation of which we have knowl- 
edge. Believing that all who fairly test its quali- 
ties will readily endorse our opinion of its value, 
and wishing your ample success, we are 
Very truly, yours, 
ROLLINS, LORING & ADAMS. 

In placing the "Detergent Compound" before the 
public, the Proprietor is convinced that the above 
recommendations from such well-known and re- 
liable parties are sufficient proof of the virtues of 
the article without further testimonies.

ening in the mind a higher sense of beauty ; but it 
is owing to their skillful, direct, and admirable 
adaptation to the great wants they are intended to 
supply, and to the great originality and fertility 
of invention which converts the elements and nat- 
ural forces to the commonest uses, multiplying re- 
sults and diminishing toil." 

All true Americans will naturally take pride in 
these facts so plainly stared-by our Commissioner: 
but pride alone will neither make us great, pros- 
perous or happy. Our duty is plain : we must 
seize upon these encouraging results and continue 
to push forward our peculiar kind of manufactur- 
ing interests to its extreme limits. 

The opportunity for Maine was never brighter 
than to-day ; she should put forth all her energies 
to not only build up the commercial and manufac- 
turing interests, but to again become the great 
ship-building State of the Nation. 

The singular delusion that fastened itself upon 
the public mind a few years since, that iron ships 
were to supersede wood, is fast passing away, and 
the fact is admitted by all good judges that a good 
oak ship costs less, will sail faster, is safer, will 
carry their cargoes better and farther, and will 
average lasting longer than iron. These facts are 
all in our favor ; therefore let us once again assert 
our superiority as ship-builders. From this branch 
of industry, Portland heretofore reaped a rich har- 
vest, and has severely felt its loss. Its renewal has 
already begun to show itself in all parts of the 
State. Portland must be awake to their interests; 
our policy should be liberal ; we should help build 
ships, not only in our immediate vicinity, but in all 
parts of Maine, and thus show plainly we have no 
jealousy of our sister cities and towns, but are fully 
aware that whatever helps any part of Maine, is 
sure in the end to help its chief commercial city. 

As a pleasant city to live in, all admit it is unsur- 
passed. We have wide roomy streets, elegant 
buildings of all kinds at a moderate cost; our City 
buildings are unsurpassed for their purposes; our 
school houses are numerous and excellent, and our 
schools are all the fondest parents could desire. 
We have a large number of fine churches; our 
hotel accommodations are excellent; our harbor 
the safest and best in the country, with railroad 
and steamboat facilities unsurpassed ; large bank- 
ing capital, under the control of the live, active 
business men of Portland, ready at all times to 
stand by the merchants and manufacturers of Port- 
land, and the simple fact that our banks continued 
their loans all through the panic of 1873, and that 
not a failure took place in our city, speaks volumes 
for their ability and careful consideration of the 
interests of their customers. Our city is clean, ex- 
cellently drained, and healthy. We have the most 
abundant supply of fresh water of any city in the 
world. 

Our taxes are extremely low, considering what 
we give in return ; we have three ably conducted 
daily papers, equal to any east of New York, be- 
sides a large number of commercial, political, relig- 
ous and literary weekly papers, all in able hands. 
Our climate, the best in New England ; our popula- 
tion, high-toned, industrious and honest, — even in- 
cluding our city, State aud National office-holders. 
Of what city can you say as much? Certainly of none 
can we say more. For this charming city and my 
native state, I have the most sincere love and ad- 
miration, and a most decided determination to give 
my whole heart and earnest efforts to the interests 
of both. I am confident from a careful study ef all 
these facts, that in no state in the American Union 
is the average of success so high as it is in Maine. 
Then why leave it ? Let us teach our children these 
facts and keep them at. home. We often hear of 
great success of some of the sons of Maine in the 
West, while we hear nothing from the thousands 
who leave their native state to drag out a miserable 
existence in some distant place. Some people are 
always in the wrong place; you will never meet a 
drone or sluggard, or a constitutional growler that 
will not charge all of his lack of success to the lo- 
cality where he lives. Some men will prosper any- 
where; others that have none of the elements of 
prosperity in them, cannot prosper here or else- 
where. It would be folly to claim that God had be- 
stowed all his blessings on any one locality. I am 
confident he has given us our full measure; with 
that we should be both thankful and content. Enter- 
taining these views I earnestly appeal to you to stand 
by your ( ity and your State. 1 never hear a Boston 
man glorifying Boston, that I do not admire his 
local pride and loyalty to his city. That unceasing 
devotion of Massachusetts men to their State and its 
chief commercial city, is the grandest trait of their 
character, and has made Massachusetts a model 
state and Boston a model city. Let us thus far imi- 
tate their good example, and cherish an abiding 
love for our good State, with its charming scenery, 
pleasant valleys, mountains, lakes and rivers, its 
lovely towns and villages, and enterprising cities, 
and especially for its industrious, honest, intelligent 
and generous people. Let us give our whole hearts 
to our industrial and commercial interests, and 
there can be no possible doubt that our eood city and 
State will both rapidly increase in population, 
wealth and prosperity.

Labor is King ! 

BY MOSES OWEN. 

Over the wide world in triumph now sing, 
Shout the loud anthem that Labor is King ! 
Labor is Monarch ! — his flag is unfurled, 
Rich are the blessings he sends o'er the 

world — 
Earth's noblest Sons have ascended the 

throne, 
Each step carved by Labor and Labor alone, 
And through their own struggles, or those 

gone before, 
The powers that he triumph on this mortal 

shore ; 
Wisdom and Energy, Labor, we see 
Are the true founders of Nobility ; 
Struggles, contentions, but point out the 

way, 
All is accomplished where Labor has sway. 
How the earth brightens — how fertile its 

soil — 
When the farmer but grants it his tribute 

of toil, 
But left neglected the dry barren field 
Nought but the weed or the thistle doth 

yield. 
Deep in the earth where the sun never 

shines, 
Go mark the toilers that delve in the mines, 
Humble their lot and the world hardly sees 
Its triumphs are gained but by toilers like 

these ; 
Nature's exhaustless — at Labor's command 
She scatters her blessings with no sparing 

hand, 
Those that press forward ne'er find her to 

lack, 
She smiles on the faithful and holds nothing 

back. 
Labor is King ! — and his progress is on — 
After the night comes the glad radiant 

dawn; 
Labor is King ! — and his flag floats the air, 
The progress of Nation's we see waving 

there ! 
Brown-handed toilers on land or on sea, 
Mind battling heroes — whoever you be — 
From you the earth to new beauties doth 

spring 
Raising the glad song : — Labor is King ! 
And at the summit all proudly we find 
Man crowned with triumphs — the triumphs 

of mind! 
Only the slothful shall not find a place — 
Only the laggard shall fail in the race. 
See how invention doth now lighten Toil ! 
Mark now its triumphs ye men of the soil ! 
Knowledge has smiled and we see Error's 

night 
Pass from our vision — we stand 'neath the 

light- 
Labor is Honor! with mind or with hand, 
Both work together to brighten the land, 
He is the conqueror, who, though he depart, 
Can say in this life I did e'er do my part! 
No matter how little — that little is blessed, 
The seed that is smallest may blossom the 

best;

THIS 



m_* ■.. 



The table of Sewing Machine Sales for 1873, shows that our sales last year, amounted to 
232,444 (two hundred and thirty-two thousand, four hundred and forty-four) Machines, being 
a large increase over the sales of the previous year, (1872.) 



The table also shows that our 
sales 

Exceed those of any other 

for the period named, by the 
number of 113,254 Machines, or 
nearly double those of any other 
Company. 




It may be further stated that 
the sales of 1873, as compared 
with those of 1872, show a reta- 



il . , 
I tively 



beyond the sales of other mak- 
ers, than of any other year. 



For instance, in 1872, we sold 45,000 more Machines than any other Company, whereas, 
in 1873, the sales were 113,254 Machines 



:e 



of §if mifltoii 6#mp®ftMop« 



These figures are all the more remarkable, for the reason that the sales of the princi- 
pal Companies in 1873, are 

]LES8 TELA! THEIM BALES IN 1872; 

whereas, as has been shown, 

The account of sales 'is from sworn returns made to the owners of the Sewing Ma- 
chine Patents. 

It will hardly be denied that the Superiority of the Singer Machines is fully demon- 
strated ; at all events that their popularity in the household is unquestionable.

laugh should shake down some of the mus- 
ty cobwebs there! If you want to ruin 
your sons, let them think that all mirth and 
social enjoyment must be left on the thres- 
hold when they come home at night. 
When once a home is regarded as only a 
place to eat, drink, and sleep in, the work 
is begun that ends in gambling-houses and 
degradation. Young people must have fun 
and relaxation somewhere. If they do not 
have it at their own hearthstones, it will be 
sought in other, and less profitable places. 
Therefore let the fire burn brightly at night, 
and make the home ever delightful with all 
those little arts that parents so perfectly 
understand. Don't repress the bouyant 
spirits of your children; half an hour of 
merriment round the lamp and firelight of 
home blots out the remembrance of many 
a care and annoyance during the day, and 
the best safeguard they can take with them 
into the world is the unseen influence of a 
bright little domestic sanctum. 

T. P. Beals & Co., have got an equalized 
adjustable spring bed so that if you only 
weigh a hundred pounds, and your wife 
weighs three hundred pounds, she don't 
sink down any lower than you do. This 
has always been a great failing with spring 
beds. A small man couldn't tell whether 
he would be alive in the morning or not. 
A High street man went to bed first the 
other night on a bed he bought of a Boston 
runner, and got asleep, and finally his wife 
came in mad because she stubbed her toe 
on a rocking chair. She weighs a good 
deal, and she jumped into bed suddenly. 
She went clear to the bottom on her side, 
and the springs on his side flew up, and 
when he woke up he was coming down 
from the ceiling head first. If he hadn't 
had a scft bed to fall on he would never 
have known what hurt him. Large women 
should be careful about falling into bed, or 
they will kill somebody yet. 

Some chap, who speaks as knowingly as 
if he had had experience, says: "for the 
other half of a courting match there is 
nothing like an interesting widow. There 
is as much difference in courting a damsel 
and an attractive widow as there is in ci- 
phering in addition and the double rule-of- 
three. Courting a girl is like eating fruit — 
all very well as far as it extends ; but doing 
the agreeable to the blue-eyed bereaved one 
in black crape comes under the head of pre- 
serves — rich pungent sirup. For delicate 
courting, we repeat, give us a ' live widder.' " 

State street boasts of a clog which brings 
the Daily Argus in from the yard every 
morning, and gives it to his master before 
he gets out of bed. The other morning the 
dog brought in the paper, but, on investiga- 
tion, refused to deliver. He did not recog- 
nize the gentlemen.

ARCADE, 18 Free Street, 



Going to Spelling School. 



That fair young creature who went with 
us ! It dosen't make any difference that 
she went back on her word, and grew up to 
be a hatchet-faced old maid, her voice like 
a file and her temper like catsup — she was 
lovely then. 

"Would the fair and gentle Augusta ac- 
cept of our company to a spelling school out 
to Deering, next Thursday night?" The 
fair Augusta would, she said ; and she did. 
Such a moon ! Such an easy motion of the 
sleigh ! Every girl had a front door key in 
her pocket, and every young man felt as if 
he could climb a shed forty thousand feet 
high to get into his own chamber window. 
That fair young creature — how she pretend- 
ed to shiver with cold until an arm was 
gently and affectionately placed around her 
delicate waist! Then the weather grew 
suddenly warmer, and she didn't shiver any 
more. It was a beautiful night, we observ- 
ed. She said she had noticed the same 
thing, and she seemed to lean over a little 
more, like some of the tenement houses 
on Centre street. Somehow after that the 
conversation seemed to grow more and more 
interesting, and with that fair young lady's 
head on our shoulder w T e would have set 
out to ride to Mattawaumkeag and back 
without stopping. She was so artless and 
innocent, so childlike and confiding. She 
told us all about how her stepmother pound- 
ed her with a rolling pin, and when we 
thought of a hard rolling pin whacking 
against her fragile form and bounding over 
her alabaster shoulders, our hair stood on 
end in mad frenzy. She said she some- 
times thought she'd get married to escape 
further persecution, and we were about to 
lay our hands on our heart and offer to be 
hers for evermore, when the sleigh stopped 
at the school house. 

Then came the spelling down. It was 
Brighton against Bungtown, with the 
schoolmaster in favor of Bungtown. Such 
■words as "catarrh," "turkey," "parallel," 
etc., soon reduced the "sides" to half a 
dozen, and at length we were left alone to 
sustain the honor of Brighton. The school- 
master was determined that Bungtown 
should win, and it did when he spelled 
omnibus with a double "s." He said it 
wasn't right and when Brighton insisted he 
offered to uphold Bungtown with the iron 
poker. However it was an offset to bo con- 
soled and sympathized with by "our girl." 
She positively shed tears of anger and sym- 
pathy, and she said of course there were 
two s's on an omnibus, one on each side, 
and she wasn't positive but that there was 
one on the door behind. By and by the con- 
versation went back to stepmothers, rolling 
pins, alabaster shoulders and getting mar- 
ried, and she said she'd be ours. We figur- 
ed up how we could keep house off of $3.50 
per week, and have a dollar left ; just how 
the woodbine would trail over the door; 
how we'd niake her stepmother die of a 
broken heart; and — but you all remember. 
It was a boys' dream. She discouraged 
me when she thought she cotild catch a 
dashing clerk, and her father set the dog on 
me, and her brothers threatened to shoot; 
but as I said before, it doesn't make any 
difference now. When I think over the 
past I feel to exclaim with Walt Whitman: 
"Oh, gimme back them other days !" 



If a woman could talk out of both cor- 
ners of her mouth at the same time, there 
would be a groat deal said on both sides. 

Fortune knocks once at least at every 
man's door. If she ever knocked at ours it 
was when we were out.

A Little Goat Story. 

A retired clergyman sends ns an account 
of a little affair that happened in his place. 
It appears that there was a young woman, 
a fine-spirited girl, engaged at a washtub, 
opposite an open door. Just behind her 
was a young man, as is generally the case, 
and in the yard was an old buck that was 
allowed the freedom of the premises, which 
is not always the case, we are glad to say. 
Well, this buck came up to the door and 
looked in, and the young man going close 
behind the young woman, pointed his finger 
straight at the buck, and the old fellow, 
recognizing at once the pressing character 
of this mute invitation, put down his head, 
and dashed forward, and the miserable man 
stepped one side and fled, and the young 
woman all unconscious of the arrangements, 
received the awful shock without warning, 
and passed over the tub, and the air for an 
instant appeared to be full of slippers, and 
wet clothes, and soap, and hot water, and 
suds. And the next minute that goat came 
flying out of that door at a dreadful speed, 
bald the whole length of his spine, and with 
a wild look in his eye. And for an hour 
afterward he stood back of the barn, scratch- 
ing his chin, and trying to recall all the 
circumstances in the unfortunate affair. 



The following note picked up on the 
street, Monday afternoon, is a manly expo- 
sition of what narrowly escaped being a 
grievous wrong : — 

Dear Jane: — I hope you ain't mad be- 
cause I didn't laff at you when you lafft at 
me last evening at the post offis. I ain't 
proud, dear Jane, but I have got a bile 
ttnder my arm, and I can't laff as I used to, 
as Heaven is my. judge. 

Tours truly, 

Henry. 

Yesterday morning, at 4 o'clock P. M., 
a small man named Jones, or Brown, or 
Smith, with a heel in the hole of his trou- 
sers, committed arsenic by swallowing a 
dose of suicide. The verdict of the inquest 
returned a jury that the deceased came to 
the facts in accordance with his death. He 
leaves a child and six small wives to lament 
the end of his untimely loss. In death we 
are in the midst of life. 

"Where are you going?" said a young 
gentleman to an elderly one in a white cra- 
vat, whom he overtook a few miles from 
Saccarappa. "I am going to heaven my 
son; I have been on the way eighteen 
years." "Well, good bye, old fellow, if 
you have been traveling toward heaven 
eighteen years, and got no nearer to it than 
Saccarappa, I'll take another route." 

The Portland & Rochester railroad is 
noted for its speed. A gentleman of our 
acquaintance coming to the Industrial Ex- 
hibition took the train at Gotham. After 
the train had started he discovered that he 
had left a valuable dog behind, but on 
arriving at Portland the lost dog was found 
sitting at the station, awaiting the arrival 
of his master ! 

Our poet advertised that he would supply 
" lines to any occasion." A fisherman from 
Peak's Island sought him shortly after, 
and wanted " a line strong enough to catch 
a porpoise."

We Alter Hats, 

We Bleach Hats, 

We Color Hats, 

We Press Hats. 

The above remarks extend to Ladies' Straw Hats, 
Gent's Panama and Braid Hats, and every kind of 
Straw Hat worn. 

We claim to make over old ?traw Hats to look so 
near like new that it is difficult to distinguish them 
apart. Then a nice fine Hat costs so much that it 
pays to have the old ones made over. The expense 
:s only about one-third. 

Our transient patronage is greatly increased 
thereby. In fact a lady's full dress is hardlv com- 
plete without a Hat made over at our establishment. 
We have on exhibition all the styles of any account 
each concurrent season, so by bringing your Hat di- 
rect to our place you can select the style you wish, 
and have it done over to your entire satisfaction. 
We think a word to the wise is sufficient, and that 
ours is the place to get your Bleaching and Pressing 
done. Try us and see if the above is not so. It is a 
much better way for ladies to patronize us exclus- 
ively in this line.

of course, the consumption of fuel is just in propor- 
tion to the steam supplied. 

The great desiderata in steam heating are econo- 
my in luel and perfect safety from explosion, both 
of which features are perfectly realized in the con- 
struction of the 

Rhodes' Patent Stesm Boiler, 

which we use exclusively in all apparatus put up 
by ourselves. 

By referring to the sectional column in the cut, 
it will be seen that the inner tube is open from bot- 
tom to top, forming a Hue for the passage of air 
from the floor or cold air-box underneath. 

The object of the valves at the base of the col- 
umns is to connect one or more of the inner tubes 
with the outside atmosphere through a cold air-box 
beneath the floor, which gives ventilation combined 
with direct radiation from the surface of the outer 
column. 

These ventilator boxes arc entirely separate from 
the Radiator and are not required where perfect 
ventilation is secured by oilier means. If desired 
they are furnished at an extra cost, of one dollar for 
each column of Hie Radiator to which they are at- 
tached; four being sufficient for the largest Radia- 
tor. 

Single Radiators may be assembled in clusters of 
two, three, or more, of any desired number of col- 
umns in length, and thus made to economize space 
or till a recess in the wall.

Health, Wealth and Working Men. 



Labor, or the ability to use the arms and 
hands for the productive or useful purposes 
is not only the poor man's capital, but the 
creative power of the country; and what- 
ever tends largely to increase its force, 
energy, consistency, and pliancy, tends to 
elevate a nation to an enormous degree, 
whether as respects wealth, comfort, or the 
power of self-defense; therefore, physical 
culture — that fruitful source of muscle and 
manliness — should be made a national ques- 
tion and universally sustained on the score 
alike of patriotism, self-interest and philan- 
thropy. 

Heretofore, physical culture has been view- 
ed as demanding the attention of the seden- 
tary only — as a science which none but the 
clergy, the bar, and the- commercial and 
non-muscular and well-to-do professions 
should interest themselves in ; the mechanic 
or laboring man, has all along been supposed 
to realize all necessary exercise while pur- 
suing his avocations, or else to be debarred 
by poverty or the lack of time from the 
means and opportunity of improving his 
bodily health and vigor. 

But the world is begining to understand 
that the mere contraction and expansion of 
muscle (and particularly when confined to 
one limb — as an arm — or one portion of the 
body) is not the only thing required to main- 
tain the system in energetic health ; some 
daily exercise in the open air — exercise 
that will bring the whole system into play — 
exercise which will in a measure be stimu- 
lated by emulation or congenialty — is requi- 
site to make enduring, well-balanced men, 
who, whether they toil with the brain or the 
sledge-hammer, drive the chisel or the quill, 
shall do their work with energy, ease and 
skill. In the name of justice and philan- 
thropy, we ask, are the means of sustaining 
or securing these conditions to remain within 
the reach of only the commercial and pro- 
fessional classes — of those who, however 
useful and necessary their avocations may 
be to the welfare of society, still live upon, 
and in fact are sustained by the hands of 
the working-man? 

Society is responsible for the condition of 
its laboring classes; these are the weaker 
brothers of the wealthy and educated, and, 
as such, they are entitled to their sympathy 
and care ; and to what nobler purpose can 
the latter devote their wealth and leisure, 
than to spread comfort, health and cheerful- 
ness, among the honest sons of toil ? 

What a large field lies open here for legis- 
lative, communal and individual action! 
Our working classes require healthier and 
more convenient dwellings ; they need free 
baths, as well as free lectures and free 
schools; they should be made conscious 
that bodily vigor is their first best capital, 
and taught how to increase and husband it; 
and they should not only be encouraged by, 
and made grateful for, free libraries and 
reading-rooms, but should be provided with

cricket grounds, boating houses and well 
ventilated gymnasiums, and, through earn- 
est appeals to their better nature, led to turn 
these recreations to their legitimate account. 
Let society provide avenues like these for 
the "irrepressible" energies which a provi- 
dent but inexorable nature has pent up in 
the bodies of our robust young working men, 
and all low desires will be superseeded by a 
dignified determination to show to the world 
that mind and "musle" can inhabit the 
same body — that gentleness is one of the 
fruits of manliness, and that, if a fair field 
be shown to the working-man, he will be 
able to manifest himself as being both the 
wise man and the gentle-man. 

Hitherto, society has regarded its Jaboring 
classes much as the farmer does the uncher- 
ished berry bush of his pasture; society 
accepts their labor as he does its fruits, 
and there all interest in them ceases; but 
when society shall realize (as the farmer 
now begins to do) that care and culture 
"pay," then physical culture for the labor- 
ing-man (the necessary accompaniments of 
which are improved physical conditions and 
surroundings) will become popular and all 
classes will encourage it, and even urge leg- 
islation in its support. And will this "pay" ? 
Can society sustain the cost of improving 
the physical condition of the masses ? Can 
so vast a portion of the community be 
afforded a large increase of the necessaries 
and comforts of life, without taxing capital, 
dividing-up property, or impoverishing the 
nation? Manifestly, yes I for the question 
involved is not that of sufficient production — 
labor saving machines are fast settling that 
point — but simply of righteous consumption. 
The greatest problem for society now to 
solve is: — How can each of its members 
most abundantly and yet honestly, consume 
the products of labor, and thus prevent the 
wheels of industry from being continually 
interrupted by the back water of over pro- 
duction ? Now it is evident that an increase 
of physical comforts implies an increased 
consumption of material productions ; with 
increased consumption comes increased 
demand; increased demand calls for more 
labor; the wages of labor supply the means 
of purchase, and so the circle is complete ; 
and this "wheel of Fortune and Plenty" 
may be turned — self-enlarging and increas- 
ingly — benignant as it revolves — until every 
son of Adam shall live in his own palace, 
be "clothed in fine linen and fare sumptu- 
ously every day ;" for the raw material of 
nature is so exhauslless, and the inventive 
genius of man so boundless, that nothing but 
ignorance and folly impedes his progress to 
a state of universal comfort and plentitude. 



We must not undervalue our Portland 
physicians. Perhaps the fabric of society 
would fall without them. They are its 
pillers. 

Corkscrews have sunk more people than 
cork jackets will ever keep up. 

The spirit of the age — brandy.

Labor. 

Labor, honest labor, is mighty and beau- 
tiful. Activity is the ruling element of life, 
and its highest relish. Luxuries and con- 
quests are the results of labor; we can im- 
agine nothing without it. The noblest man 
of earth is he who puts hands cheerfully 
and proudly to honest labor. Labor is a 
business and ordinance of God. Suspend 
labor, and where is the glory and pomp 
of earth — the fruit, fields and palaces, and 
the fashionings of matter for which men 
strive and war? Let the labor-scorner look 
to himself, and learn what are the trophies. 
From the crown of his head to the sole of 
his foot, unless he is a Carib, naked as the 
beast, he is the debtor and slave of toil. 
The labor which he scorns, has tricked him 
into the stature and appearance of a man. 
Where gets he his garmenting and equip- 
age? Let labor answer. Labor — which 
makes music in the mine and furrow, and 
forge. Oh, scorn labor, do you, man, who 
never yet earned a morsel of bread ! Labor 
pities you, proud fool, and laughs you to 
scorn. You shall pass to dust, forgotten, 
but labor will live on forever, glorious in its 
conquests and monuments. 



We would call the especial attention of 
our readers to the show-case of Eustis & 
Castell, printers, opposite the Post Office, 
now on exhibition at this Pair, the work in 
which shows a rare taste, ability and skill- 
ful execution, not to be outdone east of 
Boston. This firm is young in years, but 
backed by a superior knowledge of the art, 
that brings them up to the standard of our 
oldest printing houses. With the latest 
styles of type, excellent workmen and first- 
class presses, they now solicit the orders of 
our business men, for all kinds of mercantile 
printing, which they guarantee to perform 
at as low a price, and in as good shape, as 
can be done in any office in New England. 

Any of our readers in want of poetry in 
any shape, on any subject, grave or gay, 
intellectual or idiotical, sympathetic or 
humorous, romantic or real, comical or trag- 
ical — in fact, anything — from fine arts to a 
grocery shop, or from a "Ballad of Port- 
land" down to an epitaph or a psalm of 
Zion, can be accommodated at a reasonable 
price, at room No. 1, Williams Block, Con- 
gress street, Portland. Orders by mail will 
receive prompt attention. 



"Cast iron sinks," is the legend on the 
sign of an Exchange street plumber. "Well, 
who the devil (hie) said it didn't?" was the 
iniquity of an inebriated man of sin, who 
read it over three or four times, and chuck- 
led to kim>e!f when he thought he saw the 
point. 

The ablest and most successful merchants 
are, almost invariably, liberal advertisers. 

A very rare combination — dollars and 

sense.

OF BOSTON. 

"Was one of the first organized in this country, 
having been chartered in 1835. Its present assets 
are over 



Its object was to furnish Insurance at the lowest 
price, consistent with safety, which it has done. 

It was formed for, and managed by its own policy- 
holders ; hence no temptation to deprive any mem- 
ber of his just dues. It has been managed with 
the utmost prudence, economy and honesty, so 
that no person of character speaks a word against 
it. Among the features peculiar to the New Eng- 
land not possessed by other first-class companies is 
pre-eminently the PROTECTION afforded to the 
policy-holder and his family, by the Massachusetts 
Non-Forfeituiie Laws, whereby every person 
insured is secured against any loss to himself or 
family by the lapse of Ids policy from non-payment 
of his premium, as would be the case in almost 
every company not chartered in Massachusetts, 
should death occur though but for one day after the 
lapse of his Policy from non-payment of the premi- 
um. 

No person who thoroughly understands the work- 
ing of this law, in protecting his family and friends, 
would willingly forego the benefits thus offered, if 
intending to insure Iuk life, because he gets there- 
by much MOKE INSURANCE than in any other 
manner. Persons often think themselves insured 
when their Policies are valueless to their familes. 
Therefore let every person, who purposes to insure 
his life for his friend's sake, Examine for Him- 
self the advantages offered by this law, before en- 
tering into a contract, to continue, it may be, for 
life, subject to much hazard, and so seriously to 
affect, long after he has gone to his rest, the inter- 
ests of those dearest to. or perhaps dependent upon 
him for their support in life. 

Good Agents wanted in every town and city 
throughout the State where there are none.

A Green Countryman. 



Yeabs ago, into a wholesale grocery store 
on Commercial St., walked a tall, muscular- 
looking, raw-boned man, evidently a fresh- 
comer from some back town in Maine or 
New Hampshire. Accosting the first person 
he met, who happened to be the merchant 
himself, he asked : 

"Ton don't want to hire a man in your 
store, do you?" 

- "Well, said the merchant, I don't know; 
what, can you do ?" 

"Do!" said the man, "I rather guess I 
can turn my hand to almost anything. — 
What do you want done ?" 

"Well, if I was to hire a man, it would 
be one that could lift well — a strong, wiry 
fellow, ; one, for instance, that could shoulder 
a sack of coffee like that yonder, and carry 
it across the store and never lay it down." 

"There, now, captin," said our country- 
man, "that's just me. What will you give 
a man that can suit you ?" 

"I tell you," said the merchant, "if you 
will shoulder that sack of coffee, and carry 
it across the store twice and never lay it 
down, I will hire you for a year at $100 per 
month." 

"Done," said the stranger; and by this 
time every clerk in the store had gathered 
around and were waiting to join in the 
laugh against the man, who, walking to the 
sack, threw it across his shoulder with per- 
fect ease, as it was not extremely heavy, 
and walking with it twice across the store, 
went quietly to a large hook which was 
fastened to the wall, and hanging the sack 
upon it, turned to the merchant and said : 

"There, now; it may hang there till 
Doomsday; I shan't never lay it down. — 
What shall I go about, mister? Just give 
me plenty to do and $100 a month, and it's 
all right." 

The clerks broke into a laugh, but it was 
out the other side of their mouths ; and the 
merchant, discomfited, yet satisfied, kept to 
his agreement, and to-day the green count- 
ryman is the senior partner in the firm and 
worth half a million dollars. 

[Quick wit, good sense, and a Avillingness 
to work were the foundation of this man's 
success. One cause which prevents half 
our young men from "rising in life" is a 
disinclination to work. They are afraid of 
doing themselves that which was appointed 
for another to do, and so "fight shy" of their 
own and the interest of their employer. To 
siicceed, one must make it his duty to do all 
he can for the good of the concern in which 
he is employed ; eye service will surely be 
detected, as real service will as surely be 
discovered, appreciated, and rewarded. 

Toting men, if you would be promoted, 
make yourselves worthy of it by honest

S. C ABBAMS, 
(Under U. S. Hotel,) 



Give me a man with an aim, 

Whatever that aim may be, 
Whether it's wealth or whether its fame, 

It matters not to me. 
Let him walk in the path of right, 

And keep his aim in sight, 
And work and pray in faith away, 

With his eye on the glittering height. 

Give me a mail who says, 

"I will do something well, 
And make the fleeting days 

A story of labor tell." 
Though the aim he has be small, 

It is better than none at all; 
With something to do the whole year through, 

He will not stumble or fall. 

But Satan weaves a snare 

For the feet of those who stray, 
With never a thought; or a care 

Where the path may lead away. 
The man who hath no aim 

Not only leaves no name 
When this life's done, but ten to one 

He leaves a record of shame. 

Give me a man whose heart 

Is filled with ambition's fire; 
Who sets his mark in the start, 

And moves it higher and higher. 
Better to die in the strife, 

The hands with labor rife, 
Than to glide with the stream in an idle dream, 

And live a purposeless life. 

The following correspondence explains it- 
self: Kennebunk, Me., June, 1874. Dear 
Doctor — I shall be 175 years old next Octo- 
ber. For over 84 years I have been an inva- 
lid, unable to move a step, except when 
moved by a lever. But a year ago I heard 
of your remedy for Constipation and Dy- 
spepsia. I bought a bottle, smelt the cork, 
and foitnd myself a man. I can now run 
12 miles in half an hour, and throw thir- 
teen somersaults without stopping!" 

A blooming school-girl called at the Ad- 
vertiser office the other day, and inquired 
for "papers for a week back." The idea 
suggested was that she wanted them for a 
panier. 

A boarding-house keeper on Cumberland 
street advertises to furnish "gentlemen 
with pleasant and comfortable rooms ; also 
one or two gentlemen with wives." 

A bashful printer refused a situation in 
the Press office, where females are employ- 
ed, saying he never set up with a girl in his 
life. 

WuejsT a new town is started in Maine, 
Boston drummers camp out and wait for 
the new stores to be completed, to sell the 
owners a bill of goods. 

An eminent literary teetotaler of Lewis- 
ton would only consent to sit for his portrait 
on condition that he should be taken in 
water colors. 

A sailor looking serious, in the Allen 
Mission, was asked by a minister if he felt 
any change. "Not a cent," said Jack. 

Waiter — Please, sir, how will you have 
your steak cooked?" Serious old gentle- 
man — Well done, good and faithful servant. 

Many a Portland lawyer might confess 
that his profession is better than his prac- 
tice. 

"Rents are enormous," as the loafer 
said on looking at his pants.

Made and Sold for the Harvest of 1873. 

This is the third year of sale, since the 

Radical Improvements 

were attached to this Machine, and during this 
short time, no other Mower ever attained such a 
popularity among the FARMERS of the entire 
country. 

For two or three years past, the farmers of Maine 
have been sadly humbugged by buying cheap and 
almost worthless Machines, some of which have 
passed out of the market alt( gether; still, there is 
enough of this class left to perplex and dixliearlen 
any good natured farmer who is so unfortunate as 
to buy one. If you want a Mower, that you can 
run day after day, with EASE TO YOUR 
TEAM and COMFORT TO YOCKSE1VKS, 
and not be obliged on a tine hay dny to run to a 
blacksmith, or the nearest agent for repairs, then 
don't be persuaded to buy anything but

Inquire of C. M. & H. T. PLUMMER, No. 11 
Union Street. 



A Yankee in Paris, who was listening 
to the boasts of a lot of English and French 
artists about the wonderful genius of their 
respective countrymen, at last "broke out" 
and exclaimed, "Oh, pshaw! you git out! 
Why, there's Bill Devine, of our village, 
Avho kin paint a piece of cork so 'xactly like 
marble, that the minute you throw it into 
the water, it will sink to the bottom jest 
like a stone!" 

A Biddeford man took a friend home to 
tea the other evening without giving his 
wife notice. That night she talked herself 
into a paralysis of the tongue. Now, all 
the men in the neighborhood are sending 
for friends and taking them home at all 
hours, but the women are too sharp and re- 
tain a most dogged silence. 

A young lady on Myrtle street was re- 
cently struck with the uselessness of her 
life, and immediately went to work with 
vigor to learn plain sewing. At latest dates 
she had hemmed one side of a towel, which 
the proud parents had framed, and hung in 
a conspicuous position in their parlor. 

Industry is the true source of wealth.

Singular Superstitions. 

The superstitions entertaire 1 by the more 
ignorant of the emancipated slaves of the 
South are sometimes very singular. All over 
the country, with strange unanimity, they 
entertain an exceeding dread of becoming 
subjects for the dissecting table, and hold 
the most extravagant ideas regarding the 
means adopted by medical men to secure 
bodies for experimental or illustrative pur- 
poses. This is especially the case in Louis- 
ville, where the terrors of the colored folks 
have been heightened by the mischievous 
pranks of medical students, who have taken 
great delight in stimulating their fears. In 
Washington the negroes have a firm belief 
in the existence of a class whom they call 
night doctors, and wlio are believed to per- 
ambulate the streets between midnight and 
dawn in pairs, seeking subjects for dissec- 
tion. The night doctors are supposed to lie 
in wait in dark alleys, furnished with 
adhesive plasters, which they dexterously 
clasp over the mouths of their victims to 
prevent any outcry, after which the captur- 
ed colored persons are taken to a dissecting 
room where they are first chloroformed into 
insensibility and then slowly murdered by 
the heartless students. It is also a popular 
belief among many of the negroes in 
Washington that the castor oil sold by 
druggists is the adipose extract of colored 
individuals, and that numbers of their race 
are annually slaughtered in order to supply 
the demand for this active medicine agent. 



One of the most touching instances of 
gratitude is alleged to have occurred at 
Lewiston, the other day. A little boy, the 
child of a wealthy mother, tumbled into the 
river. He was rescued by a working-man 
and restored to his parent. The woman 
gave the man a three-cent postage stamp, 
and said she would be glad to have him 
come up to her house and sit out in the en- 
try and hear her play the piano. He went 
away with tears in his eyes. He said he 
wasn't used to such overwhelming kindness. 

A malicious youth in Norway, Me., hung 
a set- steel-trap over the strap with which 
his papa sometimes saluted him. The 
worthy man soon had occasion to go for the 
strap, and it required the united efforts of 
his wife, the cook, and his oldest daughter 
to release his hand from the vengeful clasp 
of the trap. It is so far suggested the real 
author that the boy now looks as if a cup- 
ping machine had been applied to every 
available portion of his tender form. 

A youthful Portland lover who sang and 
played before the young lady's house on 
Pine street, for two mortal hours last Tues- 
day night, was electrified after a short pause 
by a cordial "Thank you," gracefully pro- 
nounced by the "other fellow" who appear- 
ed at the window. 

If Columbus had put one dollar at in- 
terest, at six per cent., compound, when he 
landed upon this continent, it would now 
amount to over $2,000,000,000. If one of 
the Pilgrims had put $200 at six per cent., 
compound interest, to-day it would amount 
to enough to purchase the New England 
States at assessed value. 

Lavender, who lingered at Old Orchard, 
last summer, while his money lasted, being 
asked on his return what the wild waves 
were saying, replied, ''Shell out! Shell out!" 

Motto for fast young men — meet and 
drink. 

Resignation is a rare grace among offi- 
cials.
